Least Privilege for an Autonomous Agent
aeon’s secretcurl rewrite: every skill declares the keys it needs, and only those keys are injected, only for that call, only into the skill that asked.

An Agent That Scans Itself
Three scheduled scanners read aeon’s own codebase: vuln-scanner, skill-security-scan, and workflow-security-audit. What each one does with what it finds.

Signed by the Agent: Sigstore Attestation
aeon now signs skill runs via Sigstore. Every eligible run produces an attestation binding its output to the GitHub Actions identity, verifiable independently.

Skills That Build Skills
A skill on aeon is a Markdown file - no DSL, no SDK, no compile step. And the agent can author new ones for itself, with git as the audit trail.
